Progressive champions @repmarkpocan @RepBarbaraLee & @RepJayapal fought for a change: a 10% cut

Thanks to people across the country who 
made our voices heard , one thing is 100% clear: The tides are turning 
Next year, expiring spending caps
will free us up to *totally* alter our budget priorities. This year, we gave the world a taste of that fight.

Thank you to all in the House who made the right choices — including voting against the final bill — & to everyone who showed the world that the era of limitless Pentagon is ending
